About the Book

This collection of papers seeks to consolidate the observation that the progression of certain kinds of linguistic change typically is grammatically conditioned - any given innovation being realized in usage, as it is introduced, accepted, and generalized over time, in one grammatical environment after another. Although it has long been recognized that the progression of change more often than not is conditioned by social categories and categories of style, medium and genre, the fact of grammatical conditioning has largely been overlooked. Yet it has been observed with increasing frequency during the last few decades, as historical linguists have more and more turned their attention to the actuel chronological attestation of historical chjanges.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction (by Andersen, Henning); 2. Position paper: Markedness and the theory of change (by Andersen, Henning); 3. Patterns of restitution of sound change (by Bakken, Kristin); 4. The role of markedness in the actuation and actualization of linguistic change (by Bergs, Alexander); 5. On the actualization of the passive-to-ergative shift in Pre-Islamic India (by Bubenik, Vit); 6. The use of address pronouns in Early Modern English (by Busse, Ulrich); 7. Actualization patterns in grammaticalization: From clause to locative morphology in Northern Iroquoian (by Mithun, Marianne); 8. From Latin to Modern French: Actualization and markedness (by Schosler, Lene); 9. Markedness, causation, and linguistic change: A semiotic perspective (by Shapiro, Michael); 10. Markedness, functionality, and perseveration in the actualization of a morphosyntactic change (by Smith, John Charles); 11. Actualization and the (uni)directionality of change (by Andersen, Henning); 12. General Index

Review :
[...] an important volume that reinvigorates the discussion of markedness and especially draws attention to ways in which the relationship between grammar and use can be theorized. [...] this carefully edited volume provides stimulating [...] insights for anyone who is interested in the Hows and Whys of linguistic change.
